Illusions Foray

What side can you judge infinity from,
  the front or then the back

If it’s never over, or never ends,
  how then can you protract 

Can infinity stop and start again,
  would it be different or the same

Can judgment ever qualify,
  what it can’t even name

If generalizations are generally true,
  what can we really know

With the distance between our hopes and dreams,
  beyond what time can show

One step forward and one step back,
  micromanaging the present away

The ideas you profess, whose laws you tout,
   tethering emptiness—to illusions foray
